Who Plays Bobby in Disney+’s ‘Diary of a Future President’?
Life was going pretty well for the eighth-grade student Bobby Cañero-Reed.
He became the captain of his tennis team, complete with a jacket that spelled his last name correctly. He had a girlfriend and a pretty “chill” group of friends. Eighth grade is a confusing time, though, and this character dealt with some pretty big feelings.
Who portrays Bobby in Diary of a Future President? Here’s what we know about the actor from this Disney+ original series.

Bobby Cañero-Reed is pretty chill, but he’s always full of crazy ideas, like paying for a meal entirely with pennies. This Diary of a Future President character also loves to play tennis and watch dumb movies with his friends.
During Diary of a Future President season 1, this character dealt with pretty big feelings toward his friend, Liam. Understanding them wasn’t easy, and neither was saying them out loud.
Thankfully, Bobby always has the support of his family and a family friend named Camila. He appeared in most episodes of this Disney+ original series, alongside characters like Elena and Sam.
